Karawane against GMO's Switzerland/Suisse
|
Hi all,
I saw you were interested in my pictures, they were taken during the bike caravan against gmo's, This caravan started in Zürich (the place of one of the 2 experimental GMO field) in Switzerland and finished near Lausanne (where the second field is situated), so they went through all the Switzerland by bike to inform people against GMO's working with local associations/group/farmers/individuals. If you want to know more about it here you can have the daily report of what happened during the caravan (unfortunately it's only in German but there are also some photos)
here's the link for the daily reports:

Ah I forgot, In Switzerland we have a temporary ban against GMO's that is going to end in 2010 and we'll have to vote if we want to continue or not. So actually we don't have GMO's products in commerce.
The problem is that last year they created 2 experimental fields of GMO's in Switzerland to evaluate the risks of GMO's, but in reality it's make propaganda about the safety of GMO's (they also make guided tours) and to prepare the public opinion for the vote of next year.
One of these field has already been raided once last year.

Danke/Thanks 'AR' welcome, we might have to see the precautionary approach as a 10-20yr battle for these untested crops and with huge money behind the hype .
Are your Swiss field trials adequately contained ?
There are more scientific guidelines now .
Several Swiss companies support gmo biotech eg Nestles, perhaps no suprise there?
Wheat is supposed to be the next staple crop to take to the gmo plan (the UNs Codex Alimentarius) supported by US , Australia and Canada ; Brazil had the sense to drops its support for this one on wheat with public pressure .
In Brazil gmo free production of soy causes it's own problems with the Amazonian forests being chopped down . Their usually better alternative choice market for 'GE free' or 'sans ogm' is getting out of hand because of the falsification of the world 'market' for gmos in general.
